Is the Bible true? Not only does the Bible miraculously foretell the future, it also recounts the distant past with great accuracy. As such, archaeology has been a source of great vindication for the Bible. In Josh McDowell’s classic treatise on the historical evidences supporting the Bible’s veracity, renowned archaeologist Nelson Glueck is quoted as saying, “It may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a biblical reference.” (McDowell, Evidence that Demands a Verdict, Here’s Life Publishers Inc., 1979, p. 65.)

Is the Bible True? – The Authors
Is the Bible true? Consider the integrity of the Bible’s authors — men who claimed to be inspired by God. Take for example Luke, who authored approximately one-quarter of the entire New Testament. Luke is regarded as an authoritative historian — one of the greatest of antiquity. Dr. John McRay, Professor of New Testament and Archaeology at Wheaton University in Illinois, explains, “The general consensus of both liberal and conservative scholars is that Luke is very accurate as a historian. He’s erudite, he’s eloquent, his Greek approaches classical quality, he writes as an educated man, and archaeological discoveries are showing over and over again that Luke is accurate in what he has to say.” (John McRay, quoted by Lee Strobel, The Case For Christ, Zondervan, 1998, p. 129.) The Bearing of Recent Discovery on the Trustworthiness of the New Testament, 1915, p. 222.)Now, let’s consider the martyrdom of many of these authors. According to sources and traditions outside the Bible, many of the Bible’s writers died brutal and horrible deaths in defense of their written testimony. In fact, all but one of the New Testament’s authors were executed for proclaiming and defending their testimonies (John was spared, but forced into exile by Roman Emperor Titus). Of course, martyrdom in itself is not unique — many people throughout history have died willingly for their beliefs. What makes the New Testament authors’ martyrdom special is that these men were in a position to know the truth of their written accounts.
